Job Stories

This homeowner has noticed that every time after it rains, water pools up and stays in the crawlspace. They mentioned it has been going on for quite some time now and are finally fed up with it and want to have it fixed and resolved permanently.    Our team went out to scope out the crawlspace to see how we could help and recommended a handful of products that we could use to help solve their problem. Starting with a HydroLink drainage system, which allows water to flow and reach a SmartSump or TripleSafe sump pump system. There is a nylon sock that surrounds the pipe which adds an extra layer of filtration to prevent major clogging.   We also installed CleanSpace with draining matting, SaniDry Sedona, IceGuard, SilverGlo and discharge lines. All of which help in the aid of keeping the crawlspace a clean, dry and healthy area.

The homeowner noticed some water on the floor near and around their closet. Having water enter your home through walls is never a good thing so we made sure to inspect the area to ensure a permanent fix. After taking a look through a minor cut in the dry wall, we noticed the crack ran both north and south. Because of this, we had to cut out any drywall that was in the path.   Once all of the drywall was cut back, we used FlexiSpan to fill and seal the crack. FlexiSpan is a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack.   Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system.

The homeowner reached out to us because they were having water come into their basement during heavy rains. Their basement is already finished, so they want to have this issue fixed quickly to ensure there is no further damage.

A homeowner in Harbeson, DE was experiencing issues with high humidity and condensation in their crawlspace. Concerned about the potential damage to their home’s foundation, they contacted the experts at DryZone for help. Our System Design Specialist, Tom, performed a free inspection and discovered that the humidity level in the crawlspace was over 82%—well above the recommended maximum of 55% for a healthy environment.   To effectively address the moisture issues, we installed a complete crawlspace encapsulation system featuring a SmartSump pump, CleanSpace, HydroLink, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona, with its powerful 100-pint-per-day capacity, circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute, ensuring consistent humidity control throughout the space.     Thanks to these improvements, this Harbeson homeowner can now enjoy a dry, healthy, and protected crawlspace. At DryZone, we're proud to have delivered a lasting solution that will safeguard their home for years to come.

Window wells can hold high amounts of water when not sealed properly. Once the well fills too much, it can start to slowly drip into the basement if not sealed properly.

How the crawl space is sealed and safe from flood and groundwater damage.

A business in Millsboro, DE reached out to the experts at DryZone due to uneven surfaces on their pool deck, which had become a serious tripping hazard.
